Hello Bill, thank you very much for your response. Just to confirm, the EITC is automatically included in the taxes due/credits from the start and then it's removed if it's determined that one doesn't qualify for it? I understand why living out of the country disqualifies me from receiving the credit, I'm just confused about why my taxes due increased when I said I had lived outside of the U.S. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Claire
